Queenie: a Play Tom O'brien 1.º edición

QUEENIE?.is the story of Victoria Dwan (Queenie), who has been institutionalised since an early age. Most of her life has been spent at the mental institution called St Josephs, although in later years she has been living there as a voluntary patient. Now, St Joseph?s is coming down and Queenie has been ?released? into the community at large. Her first port of call is to revival of the open-air stage-dancing at Granagh Cross, which she remembers from her youth. Her visit brings back to her memories of the tragic events which caused her to lose her sanity - and very nearly her life. Not always able to separate present-day reality from the past, Queenie also possesses second-sight - frightening psychic powers, which, in the past had seen many in the neighbourhood label her a witch.
